Lol at “I hate water.” 🤣
As some are aware…I work in a kitchen.
There are more than a few days in the summer (many buildings in NE weren’t built with climate change in mind) that my end of the line can reach 140F. 😱🔥
So yeah, I stay hydrated — water, seltzer (no caffeine or alcohol while on the line, obvs), and during spring, summer, early fall…drinks like Body Armor, coconut water, cold soups like gazpacho or vichyssoise even get added.

I would pass out. Heat intolerance is an issue. But that could have something to do with being unhydrated most of the time. I would say stay safe, but it sounds like you have it down. I like Body armor as well.
Will be 55 this summer, so I gotta be careful. Thus much hydration during shifts and a bit of nibbling on salty snacks, fruits, vegs. I’ve only come close to heat exhaustion once — being from FL (summers in S TX from ‘79-‘85) prepared me. 🤓

Years ago, I went to the Indy 500. At that time, it was the hottest one on record. I was under the covered area for the race, but walking back later to the vehicle, I got too hot and almost had heat exhaustion. Ever since then, I have not been able to deal with it as effectively. I don't help myself by not being hydrated enough. I know all these things. I am not a good patient. 😂
NP — heal thyself! 🤓
And this stuff, too. I should get an endorsement. 😎
@InUnfunky
I will pick some up and give it a try.
You could dump some of that granola your son gave you into it. Yum. 😉
@InUnfunky
Yikes! Thanks for the warning. I will get only one to start. Pretty sure I had some Kefir at some point. So I kind of remember that.
@CinnamonGirlE
More of drink, tho...so watch out.

Be advised as well -- more of that fermented tingle, too. Opened a guava one yesterday at work and had to check the date.
Spoiler (pun) alert -- it was OK.
